Another El Assico ending left Ames down three, with one fan losing a girlfriend and finding a drink.
The emotional rollercoaster
Iowa State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
The Cyclones went to Iowa City and lost 16-13, which drops them to 1-1 and keeps the Cy-Hawk trophy exactly where it has been. The ending was the turning point and the punchline both, three points separating the teams and a finish one fan called "one of the most El Assico endings that I have seen." Another had a worse night still, watching the loss before a girlfriend of four years walked in to end things: "time to drink." Rivalry week giveth nothing.
What fans said
“That is one of the most El Assico endings that I have seen.”
